“I think that he is going to seek employment,” Anatoly Kucherena was quoted by RIA Novosti as saying on Wednesday.
Snowden’s legal representative added that his client at present lives on his previous savings and donations.
“He lives quite modestly in Russia.”
Kucherena said in September that Snowden was likely to engage in human rights campaigning.
In June, Snowden, a former CIA employee, leaked two top secret US
government spying programs, under which the National Security Agency
(NSA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are eavesdropping on
millions of American and European phone records and the Internet data
from major Internet companies such as Facebook, Yahoo, Google, Apple,
and Microsoft.
Snowden also revealed information about NSA espionage activities targeting friendly countries across the world.
On June 9, Snowden admitted his role in the leaks in a 12-minute video recorded interview published by the Guardian.
He left the US state of Hawaii for Hong Kong on May 20. Snowden, on
June 23, flew in to Moscow from Hong Kong a day after Washington sought
to turn up the pressure on the territory to hand him over.
The US State Department has revoked Snowden’s passport.
The 30-year-old NSA leaker is wanted in the United States, where he
faces charges of “espionage” and “theft of government property.”
On Wednesday, American journalist Glenn Greenwald, who first
published secret documents leaked by Snowden, said Brazil should grant
asylum to Snowden, adding that if “a government is serious about
defending privacy of data and freedom of the press,” it would protect
Snowden.
